Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

AustraliaThere was nothing wrong with the place.
Hidden gem between St Ives and Penzance, the accommodation was excellent comfy bed. Kay, the host is lovely a nice touch was afternoon tea we found in our room on our return. The breakfast is continental and quite sufficient. It is about 10 minutes from both places, we had a great meal at the Coldstreamer Pub about 5 minutes away. Great quite area. If you stay here read the books in the window they are a great read about Cornwall.Thank you.

Really nicely decorated modern room and en suite with everything we needed. Very comfortable bed, plenty of space and storage. I really liked the arrangement for breakfast - everything for a continental breakfast provided along with toaster and microwave. Scones and clotted cream was a lovely touch on day 2

Excellent breakfast supplied in the room . Good quality ingredients. Very comfy bed. Great modern bathroom and huge shower. Very welcoming and helpful owner. Left us clotted cream , jam a scones on our second day . Location was perfect to explore the area being halfway between the north and south coasts. It is not far to either. We enjoyed walking the coastal path in the south . Amazing !

AustraliaNothing wrong with Primrose cottage at all. It is a little remote from the "action" and some of the narrow roads to get there were a little challenging. However we were unlucky at the time of our stay because there were roadworks and detours going on. Even though there were no views, it was still a convenient place to stay between Lands End and St. Ives and we chose it for that reason
Breakfast was continental type, self-help in your room. We were happy with this because a cooked breakfast every morning at a set time can be limiting in terms of getting away early - also not good for weight gain :-) Very modern with comfortable bed and value for money.

United KingdomThe host went above and beyond with communication, leaving a beautiful display of breakfast, stacked the fridge with goodies and made a beautiful space for two people to be very comfortable in. She also has a TV in the room equipped with Netflix if you are wanting to relax before sleeping. I would definitely recommend staying at Primrose House.
